Amy Berg’s thoughtful documentary is a real-life horror story, a devastating walk-through of the flawed prosecution of the West Memphis Three: a trio of teenagers who, in 1993, were accused of murdering three little boys in West Memphis, Ark. Now playing at the Guild 45th. For Seattle Times movie critic Moira Macdonald’s 3½-star review, go to www.seattletimes.com/movies.
